"The saying of Sir Edward Todd, priest, concerning the order of Tynedale³ men on Good Friday last past⁴,” viz., that on that day Hector Charlton declared in his presence, and that of Sir John Alde, priest, "that he (Hector?) did no thing sithen the departure of the lord Dacre his master, but that it was his pleasure and commandment;” that Hector kept company with Gerard his brother, and other felons of Tynedale, "to espy bowrdes that he may cause the lord Dacre laugh when he comes home;” that Hector, with Henry Pluck and Nich. Charlton, took the blessed Sacrament forth of the Sepulchre in Bellingeham⁵ church, and one firkin of wine and 800 breads, and carried the same into a place called Tarsett Hall,” but next day brought them back to Bellingham⁶, where they got a Scotch friar to give the Sacrament to a number of evil-disposed people.

At that period the title "Sir" was the normal form of address for priests. It does not signify a knighthood.
Modern Bellingham is a small village in Northumberland a few miles from Hadrian's Wall.
